Final answer:
After three days of vacation, Charlotte will have taken 17 pictures in total, by taking 3 pictures a day and adding 8 pictures she started with.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks us to calculate the total number of pictures Charlotte will have taken after three days of vacation, considering that she started with eight pictures and takes three pictures each day. To do this, we simply multiply the number of pictures taken each day by the number of vacation days and add the initial number of pictures.
Charlotte takes 3 pictures a day, and since she's on a vacation for 3 days:
- 3 pictures/day × 3 days = 9 pictures
Next, we add the pictures she took before the vacation:
- 9 pictures + 8 initial pictures = 17 pictures
Therefore, after three days of vacation, Charlotte will have taken 17 pictures in total, which corresponds to option (c) 17 pictures.
